1 00:00:01,520 --> 00:00:04,520 Speaker 1: Ron Andanian, it's not just smoking it. I smoke it, 2 00:00:04,519 --> 00:00:06,120 Speaker 1: there was no pom and moved on to the next thing. 3 00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:16,560 Speaker 1: Did you smoke it properly? Lee Jesus at a railway station, 4 00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:22,079 Speaker 1: the car Doctor, the fuel pressure sensor is part of 5 00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:24,400 Speaker 1: the fuel rail, so you'd have to be able to 6 00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:26,360 Speaker 1: take the fuel rail apart. You'd have to be able 7 00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:29,120 Speaker 1: to deal with discharging the high pressure side of the 8 00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:32,360 Speaker 1: GEDI pump, and if you make a mistake, the fuel 9 00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:34,520 Speaker 1: pressure in that system will go right through your skin. 10 00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:37,760 Speaker 1: Welcome to the radio home of Ron and Aian The 11 00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:41,320 Speaker 1: Car Doctor. Since nineteen ninety one, this is where car 12 00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:45,080 Speaker 1: owners the world overturned to for their definitive opinion on 13 00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:48,920 Speaker 1: automotive repair. If your mechanics giving you a busy signal, 14 00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:52,000 Speaker 1: pick up the phone and call in the garage to 15 00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:54,560 Speaker 1: orders are open, but I am here to take your calls. 16 00:00:54,840 --> 00:01:01,280 Speaker 1: At eight five five, five six hundred and now he running. 17 00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:04,120 Speaker 1: You know, I thought i'd start off this hour with 18 00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:06,840 Speaker 1: an email. This came in this morning, and it kind 19 00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:09,399 Speaker 1: of sets the tone for what I was thinking about 20 00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:11,880 Speaker 1: this week. And I missed all of you this week. 21 00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:14,120 Speaker 1: It was a busy week in the shop. We got 22 00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:15,640 Speaker 1: a lot to talk about. A lot of things happened 23 00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:19,319 Speaker 1: this week. And you know, you go through life and 24 00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:21,199 Speaker 1: you have your doubts about what you're doing in wine, 25 00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:23,160 Speaker 1: and then you get an email like this, and you 26 00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:25,320 Speaker 1: know what, it kind of puts it in perspective. Comes 27 00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:27,680 Speaker 1: to us from Jeremy. Jeremy and Washington. We've all talked 28 00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:30,520 Speaker 1: to Jeremy. Jeremy's called up about his Silverados and he's 29 00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:33,279 Speaker 1: always fixing something and he writes to me this morning, 30 00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:35,240 Speaker 1: he said, Ron, I listened to a lot of car 31 00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:38,280 Speaker 1: radio shows on the internet. Like everything they arrange in 32 00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:40,360 Speaker 1: quality from good to terrible. I have come to realize 33 00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:41,960 Speaker 1: what makes you're so good is that you are one 34 00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:44,880 Speaker 1: of the very very few radio mechanics that still operates 35 00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:47,240 Speaker 1: a shop and repairs cars. This makes all the difference. 36 00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:50,480 Speaker 1: Thanks for continuing to help all of Shade Trees by 37 00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:53,880 Speaker 1: passing on your firsthand knowledge. Jeremy from Washington, DC. And 38 00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:56,760 Speaker 1: you know what, Jeremy, I really appreciate that. I kind 39 00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:58,440 Speaker 1: of needed that this week more than you know it was. 40 00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:01,440 Speaker 1: It sort of hit the spot. One of the promises 41 00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:03,480 Speaker 1: I always make to all of you out there listening 42 00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:06,600 Speaker 1: is that yes, the day you don't hear this radio 43 00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:08,400 Speaker 1: show is the day I closed the shop, because I 44 00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:10,720 Speaker 1: can't do one without the other. Because every week I 45 00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:13,839 Speaker 1: am live in the Bays, I am fixing cars every day, 46 00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:17,320 Speaker 1: every day of every week. I'm in there, banging away, 47 00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:19,080 Speaker 1: just trying to make it work and figure out what 48 00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:22,200 Speaker 1: to do, peening a relief, making it work, borrowing apart, 49 00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:24,280 Speaker 1: you know, getting the car out the door and moving 50 00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:28,600 Speaker 1: on to the next thing. We had a salesman from 51 00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:30,600 Speaker 1: Matt Goo show up this week. I was gonna open 52 00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:32,440 Speaker 1: with a different story, but I'll tell you this one. 53 00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:36,000 Speaker 1: It was kind of fun. You know. Uncle Steve always said, 54 00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:39,600 Speaker 1: he said, when you gain acceptance amongst your peers, you 55 00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:42,120 Speaker 1: know you've arrived. And I never forgot that, and he 56 00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:45,679 Speaker 1: told me that thirty years ago, and you know, it 57 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:47,760 Speaker 1: means a lot when I think of those things. Uncle 58 00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:51,600 Speaker 1: Steve had some pearls of wisdom. And this week of 59 00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:54,079 Speaker 1: Matt Goo salesman, he actually wasn't a salesman. Matt Goo 60 00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:58,920 Speaker 1: is thinking of doing establishing a Mattgo tool route in 61 00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:00,760 Speaker 1: and around the shop, and they wanted to know what 62 00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:03,480 Speaker 1: we participate. And I explained to him though, and I said, 63 00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:05,280 Speaker 1: I told him why. I said, look, I've got just 64 00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:07,680 Speaker 1: about everything I could ever need, and if I need something, 65 00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:09,239 Speaker 1: I send out for it. And I said, you know, 66 00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:11,120 Speaker 1: I've already got a snap on guy stopping in, and 67 00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:12,919 Speaker 1: I don't want to get started with another tool guy. 68 00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:14,760 Speaker 1: And it takes too much time out of the week 69 00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:16,160 Speaker 1: and too much time out of the day, and it's 70 00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:19,560 Speaker 1: it's just too involved. And I explained to him, I said, look, 71 00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:21,360 Speaker 1: I said, you know, I said, I'm kind of a 72 00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:24,640 Speaker 1: different shop. I've got different levels of exposure, I you know. 73 00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:26,120 Speaker 1: And then I talked him a little bit of explaining 74 00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:28,920 Speaker 1: the radio show, just trying to get him to understand 75 00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:31,800 Speaker 1: that I don't need every tool under the sun, because 76 00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:35,160 Speaker 1: I've got sources, I've got tools, I've got I've got 77 00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:39,160 Speaker 1: what I need. He thought about it for a second, 78 00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:41,640 Speaker 1: and I don't know if the bell went off in 79 00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:44,839 Speaker 1: his head or if he was thinking, Hey, let's see 80 00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:47,120 Speaker 1: how smart this guy really is. I'm not really quite 81 00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:49,120 Speaker 1: sure what happened, but you know, most sat there and 82 00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:50,280 Speaker 1: he looked at me and he says, can I ask 83 00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:53,000 Speaker 1: you a question? And it was kind of funny because 84 00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:55,440 Speaker 1: Shelby Jimmy was there. He was actually computer Jimmy this 85 00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:57,000 Speaker 1: week because we had a hard drive crash on the 86 00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,360 Speaker 1: shop management software machine, which I'm gonna tell you that 87 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:03,320 Speaker 1: story in a little while anyway, And he said, can 88 00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:04,920 Speaker 1: I ask you a question? And Jimmy kind of looked 89 00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:06,280 Speaker 1: up at me and gave me a shot in the ribs, 90 00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:09,840 Speaker 1: and I said, sure, go ahead. Turns out most his 91 00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:14,600 Speaker 1: son has an O six Cadillac DTS that is having 92 00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:17,720 Speaker 1: a problem with one of the headlights, the hid headlamps, 93 00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:20,800 Speaker 1: I think the right side, he said, was constantly burning 94 00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:22,760 Speaker 1: out and they were having issues and now it doesn't 95 00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:25,359 Speaker 1: work at all. They plug in bulbs and there's no voltage, 96 00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:29,040 Speaker 1: there's no nothing. It just doesn't happen. So I went 97 00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:31,080 Speaker 1: through some steps and I explained how I would check it, 98 00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:33,040 Speaker 1: and I took him into the shop and I went 99 00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:35,119 Speaker 1: through the closet and I took out my you guys 100 00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:36,880 Speaker 1: know what I took out. I took out my round headlight. 101 00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:38,960 Speaker 1: I said, this headlight draws seven and a half amps. 102 00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:41,520 Speaker 1: I said, why don't you plug this into the connector 103 00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:43,920 Speaker 1: before you get to the hid ballast for the headlight 104 00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:46,040 Speaker 1: and see if it lights up. If it lights up, 105 00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:48,040 Speaker 1: he says, well, I did it with my test light, 106 00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:49,760 Speaker 1: and my test light lights up? I said, yeah, but 107 00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:53,400 Speaker 1: your test light is a little tiny bulb and it 108 00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:56,120 Speaker 1: takes maybe a quarter ramp. I said, what do you 109 00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:57,880 Speaker 1: think is harder to do? Light up a quarter ramp 110 00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:00,000 Speaker 1: or seven and a half ams? He said, well seven 111 00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:01,360 Speaker 1: and half am. So I said, right, so why don't 112 00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:03,400 Speaker 1: we use a big bulb. Why don't we actually put 113 00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:06,200 Speaker 1: a physical load for current draw on the circuit and 114 00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:09,520 Speaker 1: let's see what it does? Said, yeah, that makes sense. 115 00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:11,240 Speaker 1: So I took him through that, and I showed him 116 00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:12,600 Speaker 1: a couple of things on how to hook it up, 117 00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:16,360 Speaker 1: and then I got out a wiring diagram, and you know, 118 00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:19,840 Speaker 1: it made sense to him. I went into wiring and 119 00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:22,320 Speaker 1: I pulled up a wiring diagram and I broke it 120 00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:23,800 Speaker 1: out and I said, here, let's break it out. I said, 121 00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:25,400 Speaker 1: we know it's not the green wire. We know it's 122 00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:27,200 Speaker 1: not the yellow wire. Not if they're lighting up, if 123 00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:29,640 Speaker 1: that's good. We know we've got power to the hid ballast. 124 00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:32,200 Speaker 1: So it is the problem either in the headlamp housing. 125 00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:34,719 Speaker 1: I said, could it be on the ground side. I said, 126 00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:36,880 Speaker 1: they both share a common ground at G one oh four. 127 00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:39,120 Speaker 1: If I recall correctly, I said, but look at this 128 00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:42,720 Speaker 1: connector here, see one fourteen. This one connector comes out 129 00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:46,120 Speaker 1: separately from the headlamp assembly, and that's a ground connection 130 00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:48,200 Speaker 1: wire all by itself. How do you know you don't 131 00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:51,039 Speaker 1: have a bad connection there. Well, I know it's not bad, 132 00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:52,680 Speaker 1: he said, because I took my test light and I 133 00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:54,600 Speaker 1: looked at him, and he went, yeah, you're right, it's 134 00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:56,800 Speaker 1: only a quarter ramp. I said, right, what does it 135 00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:58,279 Speaker 1: take to draw? I said, If there's a little bit 136 00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:00,600 Speaker 1: of corrosion in there and we're trying to fire off 137 00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:04,520 Speaker 1: an hid ballast, I said, voltage becomes critical. He said, 138 00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:06,640 Speaker 1: you know, I really like the way you approach it. 139 00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:09,760 Speaker 1: And I don't tell you this here today so I 140 00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:11,800 Speaker 1: can pat myself on the back. I don't need that. 141 00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:17,000 Speaker 1: I tell you this because I fix cars every day, 142 00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:21,640 Speaker 1: every week, and you know, I'm still learning. I think 143 00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:23,720 Speaker 1: you'll stop learning how to fix cars when you're dead. 144 00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:26,000 Speaker 1: I think that's about the time I was probably going 145 00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:28,520 Speaker 1: to stop learning about life in general, right, because you're 146 00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:31,720 Speaker 1: always learning something and that's okay. And you know, I 147 00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:34,120 Speaker 1: liked him. I really wanted to buy Matco tools when 148 00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:35,599 Speaker 1: I was done talking to him, because he was just 149 00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:38,000 Speaker 1: a nice guy and he really appreciated what I did, 150 00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:39,520 Speaker 1: and I was really glad to do what I did. 151 00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:42,080 Speaker 1: And you know, I just want to give a quick 152 00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:43,520 Speaker 1: shout out to him. I'm not sure if he's going 153 00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:45,640 Speaker 1: to actually listen. I you know, I told him, I said, 154 00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:47,359 Speaker 1: he's from Albany, New York. I said, we're on the 155 00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:49,360 Speaker 1: air up there on a couple of affiliates. I said, 156 00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:50,760 Speaker 1: but you're always on the road. You never know what 157 00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:52,159 Speaker 1: part of the country you're going to be in. I said, 158 00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:53,880 Speaker 1: the easiest way for you to do it, if you 159 00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:56,560 Speaker 1: can't be in near broadcast radio station is to, you know, 160 00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:59,159 Speaker 1: do it through a you know, do it through podcast. 161 00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:01,560 Speaker 1: And I explained to him to go Google search Ronininian 162 00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:04,240 Speaker 1: podcast and you know, half a dozen sources will come 163 00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:06,200 Speaker 1: up and you can take it that way. And you know, 164 00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:08,360 Speaker 1: he said, I understand why you don't need any more tools. 165 00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:10,760 Speaker 1: He says, I understand why you are like you are. 166 00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:13,480 Speaker 1: And he said, I really appreciate your time. And I 167 00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:15,080 Speaker 1: had more fun here than I've had in the other 168 00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:18,080 Speaker 1: ten shops that I've already visited today. And I get it, moh, 169 00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:23,000 Speaker 1: I understand. You know, my job is to fix cars. 170 00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:26,040 Speaker 1: My second job is to explain it to you here. 171 00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:28,880 Speaker 1: And that's that's what this is about. You know, it's 172 00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:34,600 Speaker 1: it's it's what Jeremy said. It's real. Okay. You know, 173 00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:38,120 Speaker 1: we've had so many things go on in the shop 174 00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:40,040 Speaker 1: this week alone that I actually have to write them down. 175 00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:41,400 Speaker 1: I wrote a story here today that I was going 176 00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:43,360 Speaker 1: to open with, and I'll probably go over the brakes. 177 00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:47,680 Speaker 1: I'll started here talking about buying a new car. You know, 178 00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:51,720 Speaker 1: the logic of of how the vehicle owner thinks. Sometimes 179 00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:56,400 Speaker 1: the logic escapes me. I just don't get it. A 180 00:07:56,480 --> 00:08:00,280 Speaker 1: long time regular customer, Kathy called the shop on toosday. No, 181 00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:04,240 Speaker 1: not that Kathy, that's research Kathy's. She's an illegue all 182 00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:07,640 Speaker 1: her own. This was Kathy. This was another Kathy and 183 00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:09,840 Speaker 1: she wanted an animal change for her twenty thirteen key. 184 00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:11,800 Speaker 1: I said, yeah, no problem. I said, how about Thursday? 185 00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:15,160 Speaker 1: So she said okay, she dropped it off. And you 186 00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:20,400 Speaker 1: know it's during the after business conversation of scheduling the appointment, 187 00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:23,440 Speaker 1: she started to ask questions about replacing the car with 188 00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:25,240 Speaker 1: new You know, we had finished the job, we had 189 00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:27,840 Speaker 1: done the oil change, and you know, I kind of 190 00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:29,960 Speaker 1: explained my approach. I said, you know, here's how I 191 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:33,200 Speaker 1: look at buying a new car. I said, First of all, 192 00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:35,080 Speaker 1: you've got to buy something you can afford. I said, 193 00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:37,960 Speaker 1: buying something with emotion. You know, if you can't afford it, 194 00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:43,079 Speaker 1: you know doesn't work all right. But you know, if 195 00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:44,680 Speaker 1: you buy more car than you need, more than you 196 00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:46,920 Speaker 1: can afford in five years time, you may find yourself 197 00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:48,640 Speaker 1: behind the eight ball when it comes time to pay 198 00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:50,880 Speaker 1: for the new one, because you know, you've always got 199 00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:53,280 Speaker 1: to look at the next car. You're buying this car 200 00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:55,840 Speaker 1: to get to the next car, because there's always going 201 00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:59,160 Speaker 1: to be a next car, God willing right, and you've 202 00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:01,400 Speaker 1: got to be aware. And I told her, I said, 203 00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:04,160 Speaker 1: this is a ripple. This is a trickle down effect 204 00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:07,840 Speaker 1: in car ownership. You know, you know it used to 205 00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:11,080 Speaker 1: be where leasing a car was more economical, and I 206 00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:13,679 Speaker 1: think it was. You know, it's expensive, but you know, 207 00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:15,800 Speaker 1: if you're going to rotate a car round every five years, 208 00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:19,120 Speaker 1: a good way to look at it. She said, what 209 00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:21,480 Speaker 1: do you think about it? If I buy another Kia 210 00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:26,040 Speaker 1: and listen, I think Kia and Hunday's are okay. I 211 00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:28,560 Speaker 1: think they are a great five six year car. You know, 212 00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:30,760 Speaker 1: you get to year seven, eight and nine, they get 213 00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:32,680 Speaker 1: a little dicey. I know some of them really last 214 00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:34,280 Speaker 1: a long time, and some of them work really well. 215 00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:36,400 Speaker 1: But I've also seen a lot of rattle traps that 216 00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:38,480 Speaker 1: are seven eight years old, and I see it in 217 00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:42,120 Speaker 1: other brands. But and maybe I'm a little jilted against 218 00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:44,480 Speaker 1: Hundai and Kia right now just because of all their 219 00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:47,400 Speaker 1: engine problems that they're having. And you know, but they 220 00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:49,520 Speaker 1: do fit a bill, I think. Listen, I've got a 221 00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:52,439 Speaker 1: couple of customers driving some twenty ones and twenties with 222 00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:55,120 Speaker 1: some electronics on them that Toyota doesn't have that Hunday 223 00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:58,440 Speaker 1: doesn't have at that price point, and Honda doesn't have 224 00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:01,840 Speaker 1: at that price point. And it's just it's right, you know. 225 00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:04,559 Speaker 1: And a lot of that information that I give you 226 00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:07,000 Speaker 1: when I say they're great one hundred thousand mile cars, 227 00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:09,040 Speaker 1: and I told us to Kathy is because I listen 228 00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:11,040 Speaker 1: to dealer texts too. I've talked to dealer text for 229 00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:13,840 Speaker 1: Key and Hunday. It's interesting when a dealer tech finds out, 230 00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:16,199 Speaker 1: you know that I'm just not a repair shop owner, 231 00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:18,600 Speaker 1: per se, but I'm that guy that does that National 232 00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:20,400 Speaker 1: radio show. Everybody wants to talk to me, which is 233 00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:22,240 Speaker 1: great because I just sit there like a sponge and 234 00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:24,719 Speaker 1: I just soak up as much information as I can. 235 00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:27,680 Speaker 1: And the dealer text tell me the same thing. They say, 236 00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:29,480 Speaker 1: look wrong. We think they're great five year, a hundred 237 00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:31,400 Speaker 1: thousand mile cars, and after that it just depends. It 238 00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:33,080 Speaker 1: depends on how well they take care of it and 239 00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:36,040 Speaker 1: how much they do. And the dealer text tell me. 240 00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:39,760 Speaker 1: The biggest thing that they hear when they recommend services 241 00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:42,840 Speaker 1: on an older Kia or Hunday is the customer comes 242 00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:45,160 Speaker 1: back and says, Nah, it was a cheap car. I 243 00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:47,680 Speaker 1: don't want to necessarily put a lot of money into it. 244 00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:49,320 Speaker 1: I'll just drive it till it stops. And that's what 245 00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:51,840 Speaker 1: gets them from year six to year ten, when it 246 00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:56,440 Speaker 1: usually stops. Kathy didn't understand that, so I kind of 247 00:10:56,480 --> 00:11:00,160 Speaker 1: had to put it into simpler terms, and the terms 248 00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:03,040 Speaker 1: were i'll tell you what. I'll give you the terms 249 00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:06,480 Speaker 1: right after I come back from this pause, because it'll 250 00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:07,959 Speaker 1: go on for a little bit. So let's pull over 251 00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:09,800 Speaker 1: to take a quick pause. I'm run an ady in 252 00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:13,280 Speaker 1: the car doctor at where am i I'm at? Eight 253 00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:16,520 Speaker 1: five five six zero nine nine zero zero, and I'll 254 00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:25,680 Speaker 1: be back right after this. Don't go away vehicle not 255 00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:27,680 Speaker 1: taking you where you want to go? Well call Ron. 256 00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:29,960 Speaker 1: He's the expert at making your vehicle take you where 257 00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,600 Speaker 1: you need it. Eight five five five six zero ninety 258 00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:35,960 Speaker 1: nine zero zero and now back to Ron. I'm back, 259 00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:38,679 Speaker 1: so I'll finish real quick, you know, talking to Kathy 260 00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:40,599 Speaker 1: about what kind of car to buy. And this is 261 00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:43,800 Speaker 1: Jeremy's fault. Jeremy triggered this conversation from Washington. Jeremy, I 262 00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:47,560 Speaker 1: love your brother. I appreciated that email. Car ownership is 263 00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:50,719 Speaker 1: like dating. It really is all right, because you got 264 00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:52,520 Speaker 1: to be careful of what you choose and what you pick. 265 00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:55,680 Speaker 1: You know, if you bring home an escaped convict with 266 00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:57,200 Speaker 1: a gun and a knife hanging out of their back 267 00:11:57,200 --> 00:11:59,199 Speaker 1: pocket and the cops are chasing, and well, you shouldn't 268 00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:02,040 Speaker 1: be surprised when it's doesn't work out. If you pick 269 00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:04,840 Speaker 1: a bad car, you're gonna have a bad car experience. 270 00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:07,640 Speaker 1: You've got to look ahead when making a car purchase decision. 271 00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:10,600 Speaker 1: You've got to be aware and be responsible and be 272 00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:14,080 Speaker 1: realistic and perform reasonable maintenance, and you've got to know 273 00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:16,200 Speaker 1: what you're gonna have to do for a realistic expected 274 00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:18,760 Speaker 1: lifespan of the vehicle, because you want to obviously you 275 00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:21,440 Speaker 1: want to keep the cops off the front porch, you know, 276 00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:24,080 Speaker 1: you want to keep out of bad car jail. So 277 00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:27,200 Speaker 1: you've got to look at the vehicle manufacturer's record. What's 278 00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:29,600 Speaker 1: their track record, what kind of cars have they put 279 00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:31,960 Speaker 1: out over the past five to six years. You can't 280 00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:34,120 Speaker 1: go back twenty years, you can't go back fifteen years 281 00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:36,560 Speaker 1: because nothing is like it was fifteen and twenty years ago. 282 00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:40,320 Speaker 1: Everything's different. But it's so important to know what to 283 00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:43,320 Speaker 1: buy and how long it will last based on the 284 00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:45,719 Speaker 1: vehicle manufacturer's track record. You don't want to buy a 285 00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:48,440 Speaker 1: pick of a poke, you know, unless you don't mind 286 00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:50,120 Speaker 1: an ending up as barbecue. And you're the one that 287 00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:53,920 Speaker 1: got skewered. So just be aware, be mindful. Talk to 288 00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:57,160 Speaker 1: your mechanic, as my point, ask them what are they fixing? 289 00:12:57,360 --> 00:13:00,959 Speaker 1: And that's important, right because if you're going to buy. 290 00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:02,960 Speaker 1: As I closed it out with Kathy that day at 291 00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:05,080 Speaker 1: the counter at the shop, I said, am I going 292 00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:06,920 Speaker 1: to work on it? She said absolutely? I said, well, 293 00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:09,480 Speaker 1: then here's what I recommend. Here's what we see the 294 00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:14,320 Speaker 1: least amount of problems with as far as getting parts, information, accessibility, 295 00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:17,360 Speaker 1: this is what you want. Hundy Ki is in there. 296 00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:19,760 Speaker 1: They're just you know, I think there's some better choices 297 00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:22,840 Speaker 1: right now, you know, I think everything's got its price 298 00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:25,520 Speaker 1: point and their place in the market. So just be mindful. 299 00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:27,760 Speaker 1: You know, buying a new car shouldn't just be rushing 300 00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:29,720 Speaker 1: out and buying the first thing that you see. Be 301 00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:33,000 Speaker 1: a little fussy, you know, best advice I can give you. 302 00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:36,040 Speaker 1: And the point of all this is the day you 303 00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:38,200 Speaker 1: don't hear this radio show is the day I'm not 304 00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:39,960 Speaker 1: at the shop because if I don't know this to 305 00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:42,400 Speaker 1: do that, to give out that kind of information, I 306 00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:45,080 Speaker 1: can't do it here as well. This radio show is real. 307 00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:47,000 Speaker 1: Let's show you how real it is. Let's get over 308 00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:49,840 Speaker 1: to Joe in Iowa twenty two Chevy Malibu. Joe, thanks 309 00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:52,120 Speaker 1: for letting me go on that open I appreciate it. 310 00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:54,079 Speaker 1: How things out there? Ayowa? Way? How can I help, sir? 311 00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:58,640 Speaker 1: I don't think you're not bad here. No snow on 312 00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:01,360 Speaker 1: the ground and it's dammage is not bad. I'm not 313 00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:04,120 Speaker 1: sure what it is, but it's it's not bad. It's 314 00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:06,959 Speaker 1: I think around thirty or something, thirty three or something 315 00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:11,000 Speaker 1: like that. Yeah, yeah, I love your program, Thank you. 316 00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:15,760 Speaker 1: M Yeah. So I get a couple of questions. So 317 00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:19,040 Speaker 1: this twenty twenty two Chevy Malibu is doesn't hand no 318 00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:22,600 Speaker 1: fuel cap on it, And you know, I think that's 319 00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:26,520 Speaker 1: I don't quite understand how the reasoning why that is, 320 00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:28,400 Speaker 1: you know, or why they design it that way. But 321 00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:31,960 Speaker 1: is there anything you can put on those um, do 322 00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:34,720 Speaker 1: they make something available on the internet or something you 323 00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:37,240 Speaker 1: can pop over the top of those little next stick 324 00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:40,120 Speaker 1: to keep it maybe more water tight or something. No, 325 00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:42,520 Speaker 1: And they've got you know, they've got a watertight seal. 326 00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:45,200 Speaker 1: That is an airtight seal, Joe, it has to be 327 00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:48,960 Speaker 1: all right. They still run evap monitors and they still 328 00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:52,760 Speaker 1: run an evaporative emissions test. They've had capless fuel tank 329 00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:56,400 Speaker 1: next probably the better part of Geez ten twelve years, 330 00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:59,240 Speaker 1: maybe longer. You know, you'll see it. You saw it. 331 00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:01,360 Speaker 1: You saw it start on a lot of Forward products 332 00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:03,920 Speaker 1: a million years ago. And you've seen GM adopted in 333 00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:07,800 Speaker 1: a few other car companies adopted. They have an internal seal. Uh, 334 00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:10,760 Speaker 1: they do work well. They have a great expected lifespan. 335 00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:13,680 Speaker 1: You know, we we don't change a lot of them, 336 00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:16,360 Speaker 1: not in the first, you know, eight years, one hundred 337 00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:19,120 Speaker 1: thousand miles, they're good. A lot of the cars go 338 00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:21,000 Speaker 1: to the go to the graveyard with them on there 339 00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:23,800 Speaker 1: ten years, one hundred and fifty thousand miles later. So 340 00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:27,760 Speaker 1: I get. I get the concern. You should be able 341 00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:30,920 Speaker 1: to if you open your gas door. You should try 342 00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:34,080 Speaker 1: and see. Can you push on your flap all right? 343 00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:36,920 Speaker 1: Because some of those flaps, most of the flaps were 344 00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:40,720 Speaker 1: locking unless you put a gas nozzle in it. So 345 00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:43,800 Speaker 1: you just can't push the flap open and pour something 346 00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:46,480 Speaker 1: in or you know, add water too at et cetera. 347 00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:49,520 Speaker 1: You know, so there is there is some degree of 348 00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:53,240 Speaker 1: security built in Your should be made that way. You know. 349 00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:55,480 Speaker 1: For example, I can't just take my finger and push 350 00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:57,800 Speaker 1: on the flap. I have to. If you look, there's 351 00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:01,080 Speaker 1: two little tabs that as the gas nozzle goes in, 352 00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:04,880 Speaker 1: it spreads those tabs and that unlocks a release mechanism, 353 00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:07,000 Speaker 1: and that allows the flap to open to allow the 354 00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:09,160 Speaker 1: gas to go into the vehicle. It's like a two 355 00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:12,360 Speaker 1: or three step process depending on perspective. Uh, you know, 356 00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:16,360 Speaker 1: does anybody make a cover for it? Not that I'm aware, Uh, 357 00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:18,560 Speaker 1: you know, it doesn't mean it doesn't mean you can't 358 00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:21,440 Speaker 1: find anything. You know, how you buy certain auto parts 359 00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:26,480 Speaker 1: or certain things in home depot, for example, hoses with 360 00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:29,280 Speaker 1: those little plastic covers on the end so that nothing 361 00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:32,520 Speaker 1: gets inside the tube. I'm sure somebody if you were 362 00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:34,920 Speaker 1: to measure the top of your filler neck, you know, 363 00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:37,600 Speaker 1: if it's what probably two and a half two and 364 00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:40,240 Speaker 1: three quarter inches, I'm going to guess. Uh, you know, 365 00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:44,000 Speaker 1: I'm sure somebody makes a plastic cap or hat for 366 00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:45,920 Speaker 1: that that you could, you know, kind of pop on 367 00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:48,680 Speaker 1: it if it if it makes you nervous, you know, 368 00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:51,240 Speaker 1: and you're not going to affect anything evapp control wise, 369 00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:55,560 Speaker 1: but you know they that that is a well sealed area. 370 00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:58,240 Speaker 1: I know some of the technology looks looks weird to 371 00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:00,400 Speaker 1: us is it when it first comes out? And not 372 00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:02,280 Speaker 1: all of it works out? Some of it is weird, 373 00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:04,720 Speaker 1: you know, but you've got to realize when a car 374 00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:10,480 Speaker 1: company changes things, you know, there's a there's a a 375 00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:16,320 Speaker 1: legal concern. For example, all right, abs breaks. Everybody gets 376 00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:19,040 Speaker 1: nervous a c abs break light come on, and rightfully 377 00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:21,360 Speaker 1: so you've lost a major safety feature of the car 378 00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:24,160 Speaker 1: when the ABS lights on. But they always worry will 379 00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:28,560 Speaker 1: have will I have regular breaks absolutely all right, because 380 00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:31,880 Speaker 1: the logic in the thought process becomes, could you imagine 381 00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:35,159 Speaker 1: what would happen? Stop and think how many cars General motors? 382 00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:37,760 Speaker 1: We'll talk about GM because you called them about a GM, right, 383 00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:40,760 Speaker 1: how many cars does GM sell in a year? Could 384 00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:43,119 Speaker 1: you imagine if when the ABS light came on, you 385 00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:46,439 Speaker 1: lost your regular breaks, how many people would end up 386 00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:48,480 Speaker 1: in court standing in front of the judge going what happened? 387 00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:50,240 Speaker 1: I don't know the ABS light came on on the breakout, 388 00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:51,800 Speaker 1: I went to the floor. I couldn't figure it out. 389 00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:56,199 Speaker 1: You know if somebody else would have owned GM by now? So, UM, 390 00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:58,840 Speaker 1: you know that gas cap design may be a little different, 391 00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:01,440 Speaker 1: but it'll work. You can cover it. Like I said, 392 00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:03,320 Speaker 1: I'll stay on the phone, Joe. When we come back, 393 00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:04,840 Speaker 1: we'll get to the rest of your questions. I'm running 394 00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:06,560 Speaker 1: any in the Car Doctor will be back right after this. 395 00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:38,840 Speaker 1: Don't go away, Welcome back, run any of the Car Doctor. 396 00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:41,320 Speaker 1: By the way, Tom correctly put up there on my 397 00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:43,520 Speaker 1: message screen that I should point out that if you're 398 00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:46,359 Speaker 1: looking for the podcast of this radio show, UM, if 399 00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:49,000 Speaker 1: you can't get it on a broadcast radio station, you 400 00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:51,880 Speaker 1: can also find podcasting besides, iHeart and all the traditional 401 00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:54,720 Speaker 1: places car Doctor Show dot com. I always I always 402 00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:56,840 Speaker 1: forget about our website, Tom, look at me. I just uh, 403 00:18:57,200 --> 00:18:59,280 Speaker 1: I'm forget a naughty boy. Yeah, I'm a naughty boy. 404 00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:02,040 Speaker 1: I just I just do those things. I can't help it. So, um, 405 00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:04,280 Speaker 1: let me go back to Joe and Iowa. Joe, so 406 00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:05,720 Speaker 1: you had a second part to your question. Did I 407 00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:11,160 Speaker 1: answer your first part? Okay? Did that make sense? Yeah? Yeah, okay, 408 00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:14,320 Speaker 1: So yeah, I'm just I'm not that not that's familiar 409 00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:17,600 Speaker 1: with you know, these newer cars and stuff. But it's 410 00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:20,680 Speaker 1: got that you know feature where you come to stop 411 00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:23,280 Speaker 1: signed the engine I want to shut off and so 412 00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:26,639 Speaker 1: forth starts if you can disable it. Yep, yeah, and 413 00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:29,439 Speaker 1: you can disable it. But how does it that that 414 00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:32,480 Speaker 1: starter turns that I know you've made a comment that 415 00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:35,239 Speaker 1: that starter turns it over a lot quicker? Is it 416 00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:37,800 Speaker 1: like a two speed starter on those cars or what's 417 00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:41,679 Speaker 1: it's through gear reduction and a heavier electrical motor. Um. 418 00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:44,040 Speaker 1: It's also it also comes at a higher price. That 419 00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:47,560 Speaker 1: you know, if a traditional starter is two fifty to 420 00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:52,400 Speaker 1: three hundred dollars, that that start the average start stop car, 421 00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:57,040 Speaker 1: the starter there runs anywhere from fourteen to eighteen hundred dollars. 422 00:19:57,560 --> 00:19:59,880 Speaker 1: So you hope they never go back. Yeah, you hope. 423 00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:03,760 Speaker 1: I hope they never go bad. Um. You know it's uh, 424 00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:08,600 Speaker 1: it's the price of technology. So um. Yeah. So so 425 00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:11,680 Speaker 1: is it that when you started the car, uh the 426 00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:14,760 Speaker 1: first time in the morning, We'll say, is it are 427 00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:16,840 Speaker 1: we cranking at two different speeds? Or is it just 428 00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:19,679 Speaker 1: that the engine's warm and the oils, you know, warmed 429 00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:21,879 Speaker 1: up and stopped the cranks so we're quicker from a 430 00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:24,600 Speaker 1: stop sign after it's warmed up or what. I don't 431 00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:26,720 Speaker 1: understand that part, you know, Joe, I've never really looked 432 00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:28,800 Speaker 1: at that. That's a really great question. Is it is there? 433 00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:31,480 Speaker 1: It's not a two speed starter, it's only one speed. 434 00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:34,639 Speaker 1: How do they regulate speed? I believe, I believe they've 435 00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:37,000 Speaker 1: got to flow, They've got to change something, you know. 436 00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:38,600 Speaker 1: I have to look at that. I really got to 437 00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:41,200 Speaker 1: look at that, Joe. I've never really thought of that. Uh, 438 00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:42,800 Speaker 1: you know, is it just a one speed starter that 439 00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:46,439 Speaker 1: cranks at one consistent fast rate? Um? Because they do 440 00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:49,639 Speaker 1: tell us that a start stop car will crank the 441 00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:52,879 Speaker 1: engine over. Uh. You know that starter spins at eleven 442 00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:55,879 Speaker 1: rpm or some crate. I remember that. I can't remember 443 00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:58,400 Speaker 1: it was in class a while ago. Um, but I'll 444 00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:00,399 Speaker 1: look at that. I'll tell you my promise to you. 445 00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:02,200 Speaker 1: I'll look into that and i'll talk about it next week. 446 00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:06,520 Speaker 1: How's that? Yeah? That sounds good? All right, that sounds 447 00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:10,080 Speaker 1: great because yeah, how does that apply? I will tell 448 00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:13,359 Speaker 1: you this, the viscosity of the oil and using the 449 00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:15,479 Speaker 1: correct oil. You know, some people will want to use 450 00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:17,879 Speaker 1: a thicker oil in some cars because the old school 451 00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:20,760 Speaker 1: way of hey, let's do a thicker oil and uh, 452 00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:23,040 Speaker 1: you know, we'll cut down on oil consumption as the 453 00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:26,080 Speaker 1: car ages. You can't do that on start stop because 454 00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:28,359 Speaker 1: the viscosity of the oil on a cold winter morning 455 00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:31,240 Speaker 1: in Iowa is going to affect how fast that engine 456 00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:37,720 Speaker 1: cranks over right, right, Yeah, it's it's zero twenty they recommend, 457 00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:39,679 Speaker 1: I think on it so right, and that's all you 458 00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:43,960 Speaker 1: can really use. Yeah, do you haven't had time for 459 00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:45,880 Speaker 1: another question? Sure? Go? I had three for a nickel, 460 00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:49,800 Speaker 1: then I gotta go. Okay, So it's got the one 461 00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:53,240 Speaker 1: five four similar turbo I'm not familiar with, having never 462 00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:55,359 Speaker 1: had a car with a turbo. Hopefully it's going to 463 00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:58,240 Speaker 1: keep running okay, you know in that turbo, but in 464 00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:02,560 Speaker 1: it's of course got continual see variable transmission too. I 465 00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:04,120 Speaker 1: don't know if you want to make any comments on 466 00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:08,159 Speaker 1: both of those, well, turbos to me, I'm you know, 467 00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:11,320 Speaker 1: I'm not a fan of turbos because what I've seen 468 00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:14,520 Speaker 1: from maintenance as a maintenance perspective, as they age, they 469 00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:19,800 Speaker 1: get to be expensive. And I've seen turbocharger repairs on 470 00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:22,639 Speaker 1: seven and eight year old vehicles at one hundred thousand 471 00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:27,200 Speaker 1: miles be prohibitive to want to repair the vehicle, and 472 00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:30,000 Speaker 1: it forces the vehicle owner into g as. I guess 473 00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:31,480 Speaker 1: I have to go out and buy another car now 474 00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:34,200 Speaker 1: or I'm going to put four thousand dollars into this one. 475 00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:36,959 Speaker 1: And that's a that's a tough number to handle it 476 00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:40,199 Speaker 1: at a seven year, one hundred thousand mile mark. You know, 477 00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:44,000 Speaker 1: I've just seen them create too much additional cost. I 478 00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:48,119 Speaker 1: understand why the manufacturers do it, you know, as long 479 00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:49,760 Speaker 1: as the turbos hold up though, we don't have to 480 00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:53,280 Speaker 1: deal with it. So there's this is a new would 481 00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:56,200 Speaker 1: all consider a third generation of turbocharger and the current 482 00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:59,000 Speaker 1: crop of vehicles being sold here in the States and 483 00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:03,280 Speaker 1: the turbos to be holding up better. Toyota just switched 484 00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:05,920 Speaker 1: most of their car line over to turbo, for example. 485 00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:08,760 Speaker 1: We're hoping for good things from them. GM has done 486 00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:11,320 Speaker 1: the same thing. Ford has done the same thing. We're 487 00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:14,119 Speaker 1: hoping for good things. We'll see. I don't have a 488 00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:16,720 Speaker 1: definitive answer yet because not enough time has gone by 489 00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:20,960 Speaker 1: as far as the CVT trans I think the fault 490 00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:24,600 Speaker 1: or the failure of CVT transmissions in the past has 491 00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:29,440 Speaker 1: been added this idea from the manufacturers of never changing 492 00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:33,440 Speaker 1: fluid and you know it's lifetime. Fluid lasts forever, or 493 00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:36,920 Speaker 1: until the trans breaks. And it seems again that trans 494 00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:38,760 Speaker 1: seems to fail on the one hundred, two hundred and 495 00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:41,320 Speaker 1: fifty thousand mile mark, right around the time when it's 496 00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:43,000 Speaker 1: time to go replace the car. Well, I guess we'll 497 00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:45,959 Speaker 1: replace the car put seven thousand dollars worth of transmission 498 00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:49,199 Speaker 1: in it. So go back to where we started the 499 00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:52,600 Speaker 1: show today, right, If enough is good, more is better, 500 00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:55,040 Speaker 1: and too much is just enough. I'm still a believer 501 00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:58,040 Speaker 1: in preventative maintenance. I'm still a believer in fluids as 502 00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:01,720 Speaker 1: the lifeblood, and where you can do it reasonably, where 503 00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:04,800 Speaker 1: you can do it without it being cost prohibitive. And 504 00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:08,880 Speaker 1: I say that because, for example, changing transmission fluid on 505 00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:13,600 Speaker 1: certain Jeep and Chrysler applications can be six seven hundred 506 00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:16,000 Speaker 1: dollars because of the cost of the fluid, and the 507 00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:18,360 Speaker 1: filter in the pan is part of the filter assembly, 508 00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:21,320 Speaker 1: and it just it's it just it becomes ridiculous after 509 00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:25,960 Speaker 1: a while, you know. Yeah, OK, I was going to say, 510 00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:29,240 Speaker 1: you know, for a country that's on a charge of 511 00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:34,639 Speaker 1: making everything green and environmentally friendly, we don't seem to 512 00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:38,720 Speaker 1: be making cars to last longer, just be better while 513 00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:40,800 Speaker 1: they last, and then when they're done, we go buy 514 00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:44,359 Speaker 1: another car. I don't know, just just something I've observed, 515 00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:47,199 Speaker 1: So I question a lot of what we're doing here. 516 00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:52,120 Speaker 1: You had one more comment, Joe, and then I gotta go, oh, well, yeah, 517 00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:55,639 Speaker 1: so you you were just you suggest changing that transmission 518 00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:57,520 Speaker 1: flu when you get one hundred thousand miles or something 519 00:24:57,560 --> 00:24:59,879 Speaker 1: on it, or I think I'd look at changing that transfluent. 520 00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:02,800 Speaker 1: And it's got fifty, I think that's a good I 521 00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:05,160 Speaker 1: could get to sixty. I think that's a good number. 522 00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:06,960 Speaker 1: And I'll tell you why you're gonna do a thirty 523 00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:09,600 Speaker 1: thousand mile service. You're gonna do a sixty thousand mile service. 524 00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:12,239 Speaker 1: You're gonna do a ninety thousand mile service, all right. 525 00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:15,320 Speaker 1: At fifteen. At fifteen thousand miles, you're gonna do a 526 00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:18,639 Speaker 1: tire rotation, maybe airon, cabin filter, somebody's going to physically 527 00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:21,120 Speaker 1: go over the car. Tightened front end bolts, make sure 528 00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:24,080 Speaker 1: nothing's falling off at things like that. At thirty, you're 529 00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:26,560 Speaker 1: gonna do all those things, and you're going to do 530 00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:30,800 Speaker 1: some form of a fuel system cleaning, all right. At sixty, 531 00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:33,240 Speaker 1: you're going to do all those things and then maybe 532 00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:35,000 Speaker 1: get into some of the other fluids. By then, the 533 00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:37,680 Speaker 1: car will probably be five to six years old. We'll 534 00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:39,960 Speaker 1: change cool and early. Don't tell anybody I told you 535 00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:42,439 Speaker 1: to do that, but I you know, everything's got a 536 00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:45,879 Speaker 1: life cycle, right, you know, everything's about and you know 537 00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:47,520 Speaker 1: the other side of that is a lot of what 538 00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:50,080 Speaker 1: the car companies do. It's marketing. Hey Joe, you don't 539 00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:51,280 Speaker 1: have to do anything to your car for the first 540 00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:53,680 Speaker 1: hundred thousand miles. Isn't that great show? The car runs forever, 541 00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:56,040 Speaker 1: the car runs to one hundred thousand miles. They don't 542 00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:57,560 Speaker 1: tell you at one hundred and ten. As you know, 543 00:25:57,560 --> 00:25:58,879 Speaker 1: they don't tell you at one hundred and ten, How 544 00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:01,119 Speaker 1: you're gonna be buying another car? Joe? I can answer 545 00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:03,320 Speaker 1: the question and probably sum it up best this way. 546 00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:07,159 Speaker 1: How much was your twenty twenty two Chevy Malibu? What 547 00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:11,000 Speaker 1: it cost? Um? It listed for twenty three four? Okay, 548 00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:15,080 Speaker 1: what'd you pay for it? It's not a real expensive car, right, 549 00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:18,680 Speaker 1: so you paid? That's the standard vehicle, all right, standard 550 00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:21,840 Speaker 1: vehicle priors and them just but um, so five years 551 00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:23,640 Speaker 1: from now, what do you think that vehicle is gonna cost? 552 00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:26,920 Speaker 1: I bet you that vehicle is gonna be furty. I 553 00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:29,080 Speaker 1: bet you it's gonna be forty if you can even 554 00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:31,359 Speaker 1: buy a gas powered vehicle five meters from now at 555 00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:34,440 Speaker 1: the rate they're going. So take care of what you got, right. 556 00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:37,639 Speaker 1: You know? Mom always told you, Joe when when you 557 00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:39,679 Speaker 1: when Mom watched those pair of sneakers when you were 558 00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:41,159 Speaker 1: a kid, she said, take care of your shoes the 559 00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:45,800 Speaker 1: last year A long time, right, same thing, different different model. 560 00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:48,480 Speaker 1: It's got four sneakers, it's got four tires on it. 561 00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:51,280 Speaker 1: So Joe, I gotta go. I enjoyed the chat. You'd 562 00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:54,000 Speaker 1: be well out there, Iowa way, and stay safe, enjoy 563 00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:55,680 Speaker 1: your Malibu. I'm run an any in the car, doctor, 564 00:26:55,680 --> 00:27:10,560 Speaker 1: I'll be back, don't go away. Welcome back. Let's go 565 00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:13,240 Speaker 1: over to Let's go to greg and Florida. Gregory waiting. 566 00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:15,639 Speaker 1: They're very patiently sorry. I appreciate your time. How can 567 00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:20,360 Speaker 1: I help? Hey, good afternoon. I've got a twenty eleven 568 00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:24,200 Speaker 1: Chevy Impala and I was driving along on the highway 569 00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:28,879 Speaker 1: and the transmission acted like it went into neutral. The 570 00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:32,679 Speaker 1: engine raced and I had to coast to a stop. 571 00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:34,960 Speaker 1: I coasted over to the side of the road, and 572 00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:38,879 Speaker 1: when I stopped it, the transmission locked back in and 573 00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:43,240 Speaker 1: it drove. Okay, and it's still driving. But now the 574 00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:49,640 Speaker 1: speedometer bounces and it shifts hard. Okay. So anybody try 575 00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:51,800 Speaker 1: to diagnose anything here or take a look at anything 576 00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:55,760 Speaker 1: or any repair attempt yet? No, all right? Is the 577 00:27:56,720 --> 00:28:01,159 Speaker 1: besides the speedometer acting goofy? Does the odometer seems like 578 00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:04,960 Speaker 1: it's working or you haven't driven enough to notice. I 579 00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:08,960 Speaker 1: think though dometer is working properly, okay, or at least 580 00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:12,320 Speaker 1: it's working right. But but the speedometer is clearly it 581 00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:15,080 Speaker 1: jumps around, it's skewed. It's a it's not a smooth 582 00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:18,680 Speaker 1: operation like it once was. It's just bouncing like five 583 00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:23,240 Speaker 1: miles per hour on the dial. It probably has a 584 00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:27,679 Speaker 1: fault in the vehicle speed sensor. So what somebody's got 585 00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:29,359 Speaker 1: to do is somebody has to scan this for codes. 586 00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:31,679 Speaker 1: And when I say that, not necessarily with an OBED 587 00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:34,200 Speaker 1: two scanner, but we want something that's going to scan 588 00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:38,120 Speaker 1: your make model. All right, my best guess from my 589 00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:40,160 Speaker 1: seat here is you're going to find a trouble code 590 00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:45,040 Speaker 1: P zero seven twenty two. Seven twenty two indicates a 591 00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:50,520 Speaker 1: condition where the vehicle speed sensor is not reporting proper 592 00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:55,680 Speaker 1: information too, or the transmission control module, which is what's 593 00:28:55,720 --> 00:28:59,960 Speaker 1: getting a signal from the VSS, is not necessarily interpreting 594 00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:02,840 Speaker 1: it correctly. This is sort of like when two people 595 00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:05,880 Speaker 1: that speak two different languages, English and Spanish. Let's say 596 00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:08,400 Speaker 1: one speaking English and the other one speaks Spanish, but 597 00:29:08,440 --> 00:29:11,160 Speaker 1: they both don't speak the same thing. There's a translator. 598 00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:12,959 Speaker 1: There has to be a translator in between the two 599 00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:16,200 Speaker 1: of them. Somebody's not talking to somebody properly, and as 600 00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:19,520 Speaker 1: a result, the trans control module doesn't know how to 601 00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:24,560 Speaker 1: operate the trans So it keeps it going and it'll 602 00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:26,880 Speaker 1: get you home, but it's just not going to be 603 00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:30,280 Speaker 1: able to operate efficiently. My advice would be get it 604 00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:32,520 Speaker 1: looked at right away, because if you continue to drive 605 00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:37,240 Speaker 1: it in this reduced mode of operation, you could hurt 606 00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:41,360 Speaker 1: something long term and create a more expensive repair. How 607 00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:43,080 Speaker 1: long has this been? How long has this been going on? 608 00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:48,920 Speaker 1: It happened a little over a week ago, but I 609 00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:53,240 Speaker 1: haven't driven it much since then. I've kids driven in 610 00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:56,480 Speaker 1: a couple of short trips. Yeah, and I'm afraid to 611 00:29:56,600 --> 00:29:58,360 Speaker 1: drive it. I don't want to tear it up. Right. 612 00:29:58,440 --> 00:30:01,360 Speaker 1: How many miles are on the car? One hundred and 613 00:30:01,480 --> 00:30:04,360 Speaker 1: fifty one thousand, right, So the first problem you're gonna 614 00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:06,040 Speaker 1: have is the repair shops going to want to put 615 00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:09,880 Speaker 1: a trans in it, just so you know. And I 616 00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:12,440 Speaker 1: think I think it already had one put in it 617 00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:15,680 Speaker 1: before I got it. It looks like it's been out. Okay. 618 00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:19,120 Speaker 1: So the question is, well, and oh, so you bought 619 00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:22,160 Speaker 1: the car used right? All right? And do you have 620 00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:25,480 Speaker 1: any of that documentation? Maybe there's extended warranty on the 621 00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:31,360 Speaker 1: transmission maybe maybe no, it's an old police car, gotcha, Okay? 622 00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:34,040 Speaker 1: So then the other the other question I would have is, 623 00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:36,920 Speaker 1: you know, depending on their diagnosis, and I don't want 624 00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:39,400 Speaker 1: to I don't want to tamper with their diagnosis because 625 00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:42,760 Speaker 1: depending on what they find, maybe replacing the trans is 626 00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:45,520 Speaker 1: the best way to go. But I just want to 627 00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:47,440 Speaker 1: caution you on. I just don't want somebody to look 628 00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:49,560 Speaker 1: at and go, well, it's twelve years old. I don't 629 00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:50,880 Speaker 1: you know, let's just put a trans in it. I 630 00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:53,920 Speaker 1: don't know that that's a valid diagnosis. I want I 631 00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:56,400 Speaker 1: want to code scan, I want to talk about I 632 00:30:56,480 --> 00:30:58,640 Speaker 1: want to hear them talk about data a little bit. Hey, 633 00:30:58,760 --> 00:31:01,600 Speaker 1: you know, uh, Greg, we looked at we looked at 634 00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:04,320 Speaker 1: and we saw that the speedometer wasn't reading correctly coming 635 00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:07,280 Speaker 1: out of the trans output speed sensor input speed sensor 636 00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:10,600 Speaker 1: was right, but the vehicle speed sensor reading is erroneous. 637 00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:16,720 Speaker 1: You know that kind of a thing. Go ahead, I'm listening, okay. 638 00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:18,760 Speaker 1: I was going to say, you know, you can take 639 00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:22,720 Speaker 1: a scan tool. You can take a tablet or a 640 00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:25,960 Speaker 1: scan tool and hook up to that car and read 641 00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:31,000 Speaker 1: vehicle speed sensor signal output and see how smooth it is. Now, 642 00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:32,880 Speaker 1: it's not the best way. Normally we'll be done with 643 00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:35,160 Speaker 1: a lab scope. But for what we're trying to do here, 644 00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:38,320 Speaker 1: I think just our purposes of interpretation I would graph it, 645 00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:41,680 Speaker 1: put it in graph mode? Is it a smooth transitional graph? 646 00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:43,680 Speaker 1: High and low? I got a feeling it won't be. 647 00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:46,280 Speaker 1: But the first step of this diagnosis is going to 648 00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:49,440 Speaker 1: be to start with a code scan, trans fluid level, 649 00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:51,760 Speaker 1: what color is that? You know what condition is the 650 00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:54,760 Speaker 1: trans fluid, and then start to look at the car 651 00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:56,680 Speaker 1: overall and say, you know what kind of money is 652 00:31:56,720 --> 00:31:59,320 Speaker 1: it worth to put into this? And you know how 653 00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:00,920 Speaker 1: much longer do you plan to keep it? If you 654 00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:03,959 Speaker 1: plan on keeping it, maybe now's the time to put 655 00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:05,600 Speaker 1: a trans in it. Way you can still get parts 656 00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:07,720 Speaker 1: for it. And you've got to weigh that out too, right, 657 00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:11,440 Speaker 1: because it's it's it's no spring chicken. It's twelve years old. 658 00:32:12,080 --> 00:32:16,719 Speaker 1: So all right, okay. So if it's the speed sensor 659 00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:20,920 Speaker 1: that required removing the transmission to replace it, no, but 660 00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:23,680 Speaker 1: it could it could be speed. It could be speed 661 00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:27,400 Speaker 1: sensor related, all right. This could be a wiring issue. 662 00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:29,760 Speaker 1: This could be a problem in the trans controller. Let 663 00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:32,640 Speaker 1: me say it like, this vehicle speed sensor is inside 664 00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:35,720 Speaker 1: the trans comes out of two wires, all right. It 665 00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:39,400 Speaker 1: comes out on terminals forty one and sixteen, and it's 666 00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:41,960 Speaker 1: a it's a white and yellow wire if I remember correctly, 667 00:32:42,840 --> 00:32:45,280 Speaker 1: two wires, and they feed up to the trans control module. 668 00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:48,120 Speaker 1: If it could be a problem with the sensor, it 669 00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:49,680 Speaker 1: could be a problem with the connector, it could be 670 00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:51,720 Speaker 1: a problem with the wiring, could be a problem with 671 00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:55,280 Speaker 1: the trans control module itself. Usually it was the vehicle 672 00:32:55,320 --> 00:33:00,320 Speaker 1: speed sensors that failed. All right, But you know they've 673 00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:02,840 Speaker 1: they've got to look at this, all right. They've got 674 00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:05,000 Speaker 1: to look at this and make a determination. It could 675 00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:07,080 Speaker 1: be one of those four things, and it could be 676 00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:10,000 Speaker 1: internally in the trans that the trans can drive the 677 00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:13,680 Speaker 1: vehicle speed sensor correctly anymore. All right, I gotta go 678 00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:15,520 Speaker 1: grag them up against the clock. Do that. If you 679 00:33:15,600 --> 00:33:17,000 Speaker 1: have any more questions, you know where to find me. 680 00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:19,719 Speaker 1: I'll be glad to answer them.
